Effects of computer-based therapy versus therapist-mediated therapy in stroke-related aphasia: Pilot non-inferiority study
CONCLUSIONS: The overall pattern of findings suggested computer-based intervention was not inferior to traditional therapist-based intervention for enhancing functional communication deficits in stroke-related aphasia during the acute phase of recovery. A follow-up, fully-powered clinical trial is needed to confirm the reliability of these results.PMID:34673449 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2021.106158

Using a digital spelling aid to improve writing in persons with post-stroke aphasia: An intervention study
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The study shows that a digital spelling aid constitutes effective support for people with aphasia and may also affect levels other than spelling. The training had a generalising positive effect on text writing and spelling in a test. Although writing difficulties is a persisting symptom in aphasia, it can be supported and improved through use of digital spelling aids. Hence, treatment of writing ability should always be included in the rehabilitation of people with aphasia.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on this subject Use of a technical writing aid can have a positive impact on the...

Dosages of Swallowing Exercises Prescribed in Stroke Rehabilitation: A Medical Record Audit
This study investigated how swallowing exercise dosage is recorded, and what swallowing exercise dosages are reported in a stroke rehabilitation setting. We additionally explored the relation between mean daily swallowing repetitions and likelihood of improvement in functional swallowing status and considered how swallowing exercise dosages in practice compared to evidence-based principles of neural plasticity and strength training. We audited medical records for 42 patients with post-stroke dysphagia admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation unit over 18 months. Data were collected on participant characteristics, swallowi...

The Effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Swallowing Functions in Post-stroke Dysphagia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In conclusion, TDT is a no n-invasive and inexpensive method that leads to improvement in many swallowing-related features in stroke patients; however, NMES as an adjunct therapy is costly but can provide additional benefits for improving features, such as penetration–aspiration and residue levels.

Communicative participation in goal-setting meetings for patients with aphasia after stroke. A study using patients' and healthcare professionals' self-ratings
CONCLUSION: Results from both PwA and controls imply that patients may need more support to be able to ask questions in meetings with HCPs. Although self-ratings increase the ecological validity of the study of participation, further studies could benefit from using video observations in combination with self-reported experience, since awareness might influence results.WHAT THIS PAPER ADS: What is already known on this subject Aphasia is an acquired language disorder that affects patient-provider communication. In stroke rehabilitation, person-centred goal setting is a key component. If healthcare professionals (HCPs) are ...

Categorical perception of lexical tones in Chinese people with post-stroke aphasia
This study used the categorical perception (CP) paradigm, a fine-grained perceptual method, to investigate the perceptual performance of lexical tones in Chinese people with post-stroke aphasia (PWA). Twenty patients with post-stroke aphasia (10 Broca's and 10 Wernicke's) and ten neurologically intact age-matched control participants were recruited to complete both identification and discrimination tasks of the Mandarin Tone 1-2 continuum. In addition, all participants completed tests on their auditory comprehension ability and working memory. The results showed that both Broca's and Wernicke's patients exhibited reduced s...
